Dickinson College students want their counterparts at Columbia University, University of Southern California and other schools where Israel-Hamas War protests are happening and students are getting arrested that they stand with them and support them.
Gathered on a grassy knoll on the historic liberal arts college in Carlisle, several dozen students on Friday peacefully sat on blankets, mattresses and a chair for a spontaneous sit-in demonstration that began the evening before. Its organizer Diana Webb said she set up a folding chair by a “Free Gaza” sign and soon found other students came out to join her.
